RR Auction: Remarkable Rarities Live Auction

Auction Details

Once a year, RR Auction gathers together the best of the best – items so superlative, so historic, so unique, they belong in a class by
themselves. We call this our Remarkable Rarities auction.

The 2018 Remarkable Rarities collection features autographs and artifacts relating to the greatest minds of history – the founders who created a new nation of United States; the presidents who lead that country for more than two centuries; scientists, inventors and technology visionaries who explained our existing universe and then expanded it; artists and musicians who left indelible marks on their craft.
